2 Copthall Avenue

About this property

The property is situated on a highly prominent corner site where Copthall Avenue turns east to join Throgmorton Avenue. This is a key thoroughfare providing direct access south into the traditional core of the City around the Bank of England, or north to the larger developments around Broadgate and London Wall.

The building is situated adjacent to Drapers Gardens, the HQ of BlackRock, and within 200 metres of the European HQ of China Construction Bank Corporation. Other global occupiers nearby include ING, Prudential Regulation Authority, Deutsche Bank and Legal & General.

The immediate vicinity has seen continued investment in landmark developments such as the redevelopments of 60 London Wall (346,000 sq. ft including 18,000 sq. ft of retail). The redevelopment of Angel Court (311,600 sq. ft including 16,000 sq. ft of retail) to the immediate south has improved the public realm and enlivened the ground floor streetscape with high profile restaurants including Coya and Temper.

London Wall to the north and Moorgate to the west are key routes through the City, and the retail activity along these streets contributes to the vibrancy of the area. Operators include Pizza Express, Wasabi Coco di Mama, Leon, Pod and Caffe Nero.

The proprty is equidistant between Moorgate, Liverpool Street and Bank stations, providing unrivalled access to seven London Underground lines, all within a 5 minute walk.

This superb connectivity will be further enhanced by Elizabeth Line services from Moorgate and Liverpool Street stations, 250 m. to the north.

When the route opens in December 2018, a train every two and a half minutes at peak times will allow passengers to travel across London from Paddington in the west to Shenfield in the east.

The Elizabeth Line is the most significant addition to London's transport capacity for decades. When services begin in 2018, it will be fully integrated with London's existing transport network and will bring an extra 1.5 million people to within a 45 minute journey time of the capital.

From December 2018 both Moorgate and Liverpool Street stations will provide access to the Elizabeth Line, which will link the key markets of Paddington, the West End and Farringdon with the City of London and Canary Wharf.

It is estimated that the new service will provide a 21% increase in rail capacity into the City of London. The entrance to the Crossrail station at Moorgate will be within a 4 minute walk (250 m.) of 2 Copthall Avenue.
